A moment of silence for ones that are not here right now,
a prayer for their souls,
if they couldn’t live right,
for all who lost their life,
ones who left before their time,
we can all cry with all our might,
whole day and whole night,
nothing makes sense nothing is rite,
so young there should be no need to fight,
yet fight for their life,
a moment of silence for ones that are fighting right now,
a prayer to keep them here,
so beautiful and dear,
we all need you near,
god give us hope,
get rid of the fear,
we stand here god we make it clear,
if you take another young soul,
me and you will have to talk 1 on 1 all alone,
I know your messengers say it was their time,
god don't lie, it’s a crime,
and its young souls paying the fine,
your crossing the line.
take someone old who doesn’t want to live,
someone who decided to be with you,
someone like my cousin who hung himself,
even though he had family and wealth,
moment of silence for ones that are here and ones that are gone,
let them remember,
let them know,
they won’t be forgotten and left alone.....

Powerful write, strong emotions. I agree with Amber Silverhair, this is too good of a poem to be abused by incorrect spelling. Awesome poem.
-
This is a very emotive and strong poem. Your feelings come across very clearly. I know I sound like a spelling nazi but incorrect spelling can be so harmful to the overall impact of a piece of writing. This poem does not deserve to be abused by incorrect spelling.

Deep and emotional. You voiced things we have all wanted to say about taking someone else who wants to go instead of the the innocent. Very well said. This was written very well. You did a good job. Thank you for sharing.
